The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was tricking people into thinking they should be mad at the people who can’t afford food as opposed to the corporations and billionaires not paying them enough to afford food.

Our economic freedoms and civil rights are under attack right now. Over the coming months and years, we're all going to need to work even harder to protect the gains we've made. We need to answer the call to leadership like the tradeswomen of NABTU have.

I’m the Director of Labor Market Research for the State of Mass. Inflation is up 3% year over year in New England. Why? Because we have a President that doesn’t know what he’s doing. And yes interest rates should stay where they are.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

Dr. Noor Abdalla will be spending her first Mother's Day as a mom without her husband Mahmoud Khalil, who is still locked up hundreds of miles away from her in ICE detention. He should be holding his son who he hasn't met yet, but he is instead detained without due process by the U.S. government.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

nbcnews.comInfo Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother came from top general's secure messagesHegseth has denied the information he shared was classified, but it was given to him on a system for sensitive and classified information, sources told NBC News.

This is so heartening to see
